  1. "15:38" A bomb threat was made at City Hall, and SWAT/EOD were called in to assist. Shortly after an exterior device went off, EOD entered the building to search for more devices. EOD found another device and got to work. Once the device was taken by Officers Sanchez and Papadakis, Lieutenant Gareth Longford did one final sweep of City Hall with Don's K9 partner Gans. No other devices were found, and the deployment was considered concluded. A short press conference was held by OJ Wood, Alex Schill, and Don Mozzarella. (Shoutout @Timmaayy and @Lewis for making this happen. Much love <3)
  2. I remember the last time you did this, what an impeccable experience it was to watch this unfold. Looking forward to day 69 personally. Best, Ranger

    Burnout Nation

    The Burnouts had a couple of cars that needed their winter tires put on. Don and Asbo decided to take the initiative. (Don & Asbo shopping for tools at UTool.) In-between getting to the Burnout Garage, Hazel & Asbo decorated the lot. (Post about this soonTM - Link will be edited in later!) After doing all of that, they headed to the garage and got to work. (Don changing his first tire.) Asbo & Jamie assisted Don with his other tires. (Jamie changing the final tire on the Novak.) (Don & Bruce's cars on their jacks.) After finishing Don's Novak, Don assisted Bruce with his Clique, teaching him how to change out a wheel. (Bruce changing out his wheels.) After putting on each wheel, Don & Bruce found an air issue whilst Don was making sure everything was done correctly. (Don checking the air pressure on each wheel and filling them up.) Once Bruce's car was done, they said their goodbyes, but decided to grab a bite as a group first. (Don, Bruce, and Asbo talking about getting food.) They headed to Burnout Bodega to get some sandwiches after a long evening of changing out wheels. (Don, Bruce, and Asbo eating and drinking at Burnout Bodega.)
  4. Hello, Someone want to create a company that competes with Weazel. Currently, they have no place to post their newspaper that can be viewed by the public. This does not fall into any category under the IC business section. Although I understand the sentiment, it's not uncommon for smaller journalists to use other established news agencies to advertise their own content. However, if said player created a faction, they would be able to create a post in this section about the business, and would be able to post updates that they do in there. I will bring up, and see the possibility of there being a new section called "Content" (name will be worked out) in the advertisements section for things such as stories or other misc pieces of content that may be made by different types of people (fliers, free lance news reports, home made TV shows, etc) that can be posted there and doesn't really fall under advertisements. I will bring this up in the next staff meeting. Someone wants to post about their company, give information on it such as the logo, motto of the company, basic information on where to find it, what it does, etc. Please refer to the Player Ran Businesses section. Someone wants to post about their non-profit, events that it holds, ways to get involved, volunteer opportunities This would be possible in the "Events" Section of the advertisements section, additionally, if someone created a non-profit organization, they have the option to create a player faction thread or a player ran business thread to display any information relevant to the faction/group that they would like to show. Any events they would host can be posted in the "Events" section in the advertisements area with contact information that maybe be found useful (as it's an IC board). Alternatively, they can utilize Weazel News in-game. Kellie designs art. If there was a section where she could post about her business people could leave reviews, she could update customers on the status of her business, etc. etc. Refer to my "Content" comment under the first bullet point as this somewhat falls under it. The orphanage that Pierce Hardy and Melissa Hall applied for wouldn't be able to post in Advertisements... but if there was a business section/non-profit area, they could. Orphanages don't often advertise as is (as they normally network within the "industry" (hospitals, child services, etc)). Additionally, they (Madison & Pierce) do not do this publicly, so it would be niche to use them as an example (speaking as one of their 19 children). Alternatively, they can utilize Weazel News in-game. As I mentioned, when the next staff meeting happens I will bring up the possibility of adding a new section for "Content" in the ad section.

    Burnout Nation

    (By @Asbo & @Ranger) Burnout has a few traditions, but the most important one is their breast cancer awareness car meet, which has been a big success for the past two years, and this year it shouldn’t be different. Asbo wanted something that would attract a lot of people, and raffles usually tend to go a long way, therefore it was decided, after their very successful Jugular & 10F Raffle, that the next would be a Hakuchou Drag. Asbo spent a few days, posting adverts and scouring the marketplace to see, and finally he was able to score one for a decent price. It was modified to look clean, and with their signature breast cancer awareness color code, which Burnout also uses for most of their personal vehicles during October. Once all of the preparations were completed, the day came for the event. Asbo prepared the area by parking the prize Drag next to the raffle tents and tables, then got the ads running to let the city know that the event was beginning. As the ads went up, people began to arrive. As the parking lot filled up, small circles formed and people began to converse and speak about their rides with each other. Once everyone settled in, the raffle began. Asbo took signups for the raffle as Don and a couple other of the Burnouts went around and conversed with people telling them about it. After a while of selling the tickets, Asbo decided it was time to draw the name of the winner. The wheel was set up and spun and the winner was picked, Andrea Fallon! Once everything was said and done, the lot emptied out and everyone left the parking lot. This was the third annual event for breast cancer awareness that Burnout has done, and the third year consisting of us making an effort to get the color pink spread out around the community as best as possible to help spread the awareness. Year after year we like to try to get as many people involved with this as it really in a way brings people together in different ways. As I say, if you ask an entire room of people “Who knows someone who’s had breast cancer”, 90% of the room would raise their hands, so it’s truly touching to see people show support for those who were affected by breast cancer and show/spread the awareness in a community sense. We hope to see some more pink around the server next year! - Ranger / Burnout Nation

  10. Hello team, We already issue "petty report" warnings to players who have posted reports that are deemed "petty" whereas, multiple staff members are inquired on this to ensure that the report truly is "petty", and a buildup of said warnings can lead to further punishment and/or the severity of said "pettiness" may weigh in as well per report. In the next staff meeting I will bring up a reminder that petty report warnings can be issued, but in short, this is a process that already exists. And as always, if you believe a report was handled incorrectly, you may of course create a decision appeal for the report. Locked & Archived.
  11. Hello, something such as this already exists, businesses and (solo, non Weazel reliant) players are able to post advertisements on the forums. Please refer to the link below. https://forum.eclipse-rp.net/forum/165-advertisements/ Archived.

  13. Hey! Improper area: To appeal a ban you need to post in the Decision Appeals section. Do not worry about posting in a specific area. Improper Format: Before creating an appeal, you need to ensure you you are following the format which can be found in the Decision Appeal Requirements section. Hopefully this helps!
  14. Introduction With the recent addition of /fdo, there may be some questions about how to properly "use" it, or maybe there's just confusion on its use case(s). With this short guide, you should have a better understanding of how to use /fdo! What is /fdo? /fdo or /floatingdo is a way to provide deeper RP in the environment we surround ourselves in such as posters, flyers, evidence enhancement(s), etc. While /do would be used for explaining something happening to your character, /fdo would be to describe something in the environment in a form of /do (e.g. describing footprints leading away from a crime scene). Once the /fdo is no longer relevant then be sure to delete it with /removefdo [ID]. This can be done from anywhere. Use /listfdo to see a list of all your placed /fdos. You can also customize the text color the same way you can customize text chat. You are also permitted to use links in your /fdo to advertise or further explain what would be shown (e.g. having a link to an imgur album with a custom made menu in it). As a courtesy, you may put the link in single brackets, but it is not necessary as the fdo is already in double brackets. When should/shouldn't I use /fdo? /fdo is an optional command to utilize. As stated above, it is a way to provide a deeper environment for other players without necessarily needing to be present to provide the RP. You are not required to use /fdo however they can be very beneficial to create some visuals for the roleplay that is occurring. Below are a couple of examples of when to and when not to use /fdo. When should I? /fdo can be utilized to explain an inanimate object or scenario without being present. An example scenario is the scene of a home break-in. There is a huge advantage to the command as it can be quickly placed and then deleted. Another example can be putting up a poster or a flyer. You should keep in mind that when doing something such as this, you are expected to roleplay creating the item - /fdo in itself is not a poster, it is just the roleplay showing that a poster has been hung. When shouldn’t I? /fdo is used to provide RP in an environment, and it is not an alternative to using /me or /do in active RP with others. They should be written similar to how a /do is so they require such prefixes faces such as “There would be” or “A poster reads”. You cannot just have floating text with no direct relation to any RP that has occurred. They are not used to describe people, additionally, for medical RP /fdo should not be utilized, you should continue use of /do. If there is anything that was missed in this guide feel free to reach out to Ranger (Ranger#4484) or Chunder (Chunder#6108) on discord. If you have further questions feel free to create a /report 1 in-game and staff will be able to assist!

    Burnout Nation

    Last year, Burnout Nation impacted the city by sitting at LSC and offering to pay for people’s paint jobs, as long as they painted it some form of pink. This year, Burnout decided to do it themselves. Using the garage they leased through the government, Asbo suggested to Don and James that Burnout paints cars themselves at the garage this year. Asbo went to U-Tool and bought some pink paint buckets and spray guns to use, then loaded them into his new “pickup truck” and brought them to the garage. After bringing the equipment to the garage, Asbo purchased a couple of suits to wear while painting and began to set up small “stations” for people to bring their cars in. Once setting up each station up, Asbo asked someone on the Weazel News frequency to change the ad to say “Starting Now”, and the Burnouts waited. After waiting a few minutes, people began to roll in, which is when they got to work. After a couple of hours of being at the garage, things started to slow down so the Burnouts packed things up.

    Rulebreakers such as ID 21 should be nerfed. Please comment on another post rather than create a new one, a topic about the armor value(s) of LEO factions can be found linked here. Also, if you choose to comment on it, ensure that your response has merit, and a constructive meaning to it. Locked & Archived.
